Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Cities have been struggling to end homelessness for more than a decade. Now, advocates and others are caught in a debate over whether isolation or integration works best for helping families and individuals facing homelessness. The next installment of our Urban Institute series looks at building community support for the newest approaches in social services.
